Which human eye drops can be used on a dog?
Human eye drops are generally not advised for dogs, especially without an eye exam. If the eye condition is unclear, do not use them blindly. In some cases tobramycin, chloramphenicol, levofloxacin, or ganciclovir drops may help, but only under veterinary guidance.
What eye drops for a dog with red eyes and crusty discharge?

What happens if a dog gets human eye drops?
A dog getting human eye drops may cause the following problems. First, some ingredients in human eye drops may be unsafe for dogs and can cause allergies or other adverse reactions, and in severe cases can even lead to blindness. Second, the dosage of human eye drops is designed for adults and may be too high for a dog; an inaccurate dose can cause adverse reactions such as excessive eye irritation, redness, and pain. Finally, although some human eye drops are indeed safe for dogs, they may not match the actual problem, so they may not resolve the dog's eye symptoms.
Dog eye had an ulcer, treated with anti-inflammatories and drops, healed, then two days later the whole eye turned blue; used ofloxacin and bFGF drops alternately, blue gone, but the black part is crystal-red; 10 days less red but not normal. What now?
Since the eye improved with medication, continue a while to see full recovery. Blue tint suggests corneal damage; the drops repair cornea. If not fully recovered, get an eye exam at a vet.

2-year-old spayed French Bulldog, suddenly blind in early January; before blindness hit her chin falling off a bed. Eye pressure and retina were fine, no MRI; glaucoma drops and eye-inflammation meds for a month, still blind. Could it be hydrocephalus? Will ignoring it risk life?
Dog blindness has many causes; if eye exams rule out eye disease and retinal nerve issues, brain tumor or pressure, even clotting disorders causing intraocular bleeding and blindness are possible. Thorough eye and body exams find the cause early.
Can You Use Human Eye Drops on a Dog?
Human eye drops are generally not recommended for dogs. They can be irritating to a dog's eyes, and using the wrong dose may worsen eye symptoms. Dog eye conditions vary widely, so self-treating often fails. In special cases, antibacterial eye drops may help, but see a vet if there's no improvement in 3 days.
